Zones by level

This is a list of zones (regions, areas or other locations) with their recommended level. Some players may be able to head to these zones earlier (and of course later) in their levelling process. Non starter areas have a "minimum" level below which fast travel there will not work, and survival will be harder. See level restrictions.

Most regional quests are aimed at a level range of about 10 levels, but sometimes a specific area or location offers quests aimed at higher levels. Such odd areas or locations are presented in italic font. And those quests are not included in the general level range of the region.
